A comb for use in combing the human hair, comprising a single elongated backing member and teeth formed integrally with the backing member and extending in the same direction therefrom,

• (a) the teeth being arranged in three parallel rows which extend substantially from end to end of the backing member,
• (b) each of the teeth being shaped in a compound curve from end to end and the curvatures of all of the teeth being in the same direction whereby the teeth are substantially parallel,
• (c) the spacing of the teeth longitudinally of the backing member being the same in each row and in all three rows,
• (d) the teeth of the two side rows being aligned transversely of the backing member and the teeth of the middle row being positioned longitudinally of the comb midway between those of the side rows,
• (e) all of the teeth being of the same cross sectional size and elliptical cross-sectional shape with the major axis of the ellipse being transverse of the backing member,
• (f) the free ends of the teeth of the middle row lying in a straight line extending longitudinally of the comb, and
• (g) the free ends of the teeth of the two side rows lying in a common plane which is spaced toward the backing member from the straight line of the ends of the teeth of the middle row.
